Greetings,
I am proposing a ML350 server with internal raid and another raid controller(Smart Array 5302) connected to StorageWorks Enclosure 4314.
The internal raid is configured as RAID 1 across 2 drives and the external
raid is configured as RAID 5 acroos 3 drives.
Can I use LVM to perform a software mirror between the internal raid and external raid volumes or I would need 3-party software like Veritas Foundation Suite for Linux ?
no you cannot use lvm to do mirroring, you can do striping with it, or just use space from the two storage to form a single volume group. I would not mix internal and external storage anyway if i were in you. if you need the space on a single server buy a server with more slots...
